Tuesday September 4, 2018- National
Assembly Majority Leader, Aden Duale, has asked MPs to stop hypocrisy in their
threats to impeach Finance Cabinet Secretary, Henry Rotich, over the new fuel
tax.

Speaking in
Barsaloi, Samburu North, Duale said that Rotich is just implementing a law that
was passed by Parliament in 2013 to help the Government finance the 2018/ 2019
national budget.

“MPs are now
crying, stop shedding crocodile tears, wananchi have a right to cry
but you MPs stop your hypocrisy because if you approve a budget in the House
you must provide in the Finance Bill how that budget will be financed,” said
Duale.

The Majority
Leader disclosed that the MPs passed the VAT Bill in 2013 and they should blame
themselves for putting Kenyans into this mess and not Rotich.

“The MPs passed a
bill suspending implementation of the tax law on petroleum until 2022 but as at
now that bill is not a law without a signature from Head of State,” he said.
